Buckle up because we’re going to talk about a serious topic for this week’s Mudroom.
Recently there’s been a big surge in discussion around things like spanking and physical punishment out of love for their children.
“Spare the rod- spoil the child” kind of energy.
I do want to make this perfectly clear: we don’t spank children around here.
You won’t ever hear me say: spank your child, a small pop is okay, a little tap is fine.
There is no justification for physically harming your child.
There is no place for it in discipline (or anywhere).
Cool? Cool.
That said- since it’s a topic of discussion that’s popped up recently in the free parenting group
And it’s seemed to have stirred up some interest in trauma bonds. I’ve talked about it before but given the response from the community it seems like it’s worth discussing again.
So in this week’s Mudroom conversation I’m going to explain what trauma bonds are, what that looks like in a parent/child relationship, and how it impacts children.
I do want to say, I know this can ruffle some feathers. The term itself trauma bond is really heavy and intense, but it’s our job as parents to be brave enough to face the hard stuff.
To come to terms with the difficult parts of raising a child and learning so we can do better.
So this is my invite for you to be brave, and join this conversation to and see what you learn.
